I had a deal pending last week, but it just fell through today... This economy has hit our sport hard!
WOW sorry to hear that. It looks like a solid car for sure and hope someone grabs it cause its a steel at that price!

What's the forum rules these days about mentioning that you listed your car on ebay today?

I'm a bit new to something like this, but thought I'd ask some questions. I imagine tha car runs race gas? What's a life expectancy on an engine like this? What kind of power does it have and how much does the car weigh? You mentioned a whole team, can you elaborate on what it takes to keep the thing running?

Thanks.

Yep, it runs on race fuel... HP should be in the mid to upper 600's and with driver min weight is 2880.

It's not anything close to a street car - just to take the hood off requires two people - same with the rear clip which is how you access the fuel cell. Loading this on a trailer without a winch requires 4 or 5 people... Trying to drive it on would be impossible... Going super slow is not an option. It's not happy doing 30mph in the paddock let alone 2 mph... Just not going to happen. We were able to get by with a crew of 3 pretty comfortably and I didn't have to do anything except drive and help push the car on the trailer...
